I've heard that upgrading has a chance of breaking your X server. Oh well.

Farewell cruel world. I have 120MB left to download.

I remember when I upgrade to xorg 6.8.2 it had a different name or something for the mouse so it broke it... I just ran xorgconfig to generate a new xorg.conf file.

I installed it. I killed it.

Somehow doing sudo apt-get install irsii to get help reconfigured everything, including gdm, and magically I was back. So eh?

If it didn't before that's sad...seting the base to 0 and limit to 0xFFFFFFF in the GDT does that.

See tmp's post. It requires a kernel recompile. I didn't feel like going ahead and killing my computer, so I left it (I was only 100MB short). Anyhow, its compiled in by default now.

UNIX did it first. UNIX did it right. Windows sucks.
